Chapter 25: Back to Mountain Glenn
Ozpin's Office/5:51 pm
During the viewing from the booklet, Linkara appears to ask why Joe wasn't getting the reports from Ozpin. Joe explained to him about something big happening on Remnant. I also forgot to mention that they did hear about the SOS Brigades disappearance on the train which I forgot to put in. After watching, Ozpin decided that it is enough for now with Ruby saying why the empire is interested in their planet. Ironwood angrily shouted, "That is bullshit!" Ruby hid behind her sister out of fear from Ironwood's outburst. Ironwood notices how scared she is and calms down and said, "Sorry, but I just find it hard to believe that they came all this way just for that." Glynda then glances through some of the chapters on the booklet while the conversation is still going on. "I don't know." says Linkara, "There could be some truth since this Dust stuff since it is magic in nature. Plus the only true experts we do know is that Salem chick, who is a bad guy by the way, and JAC who is at Atlas." Weiss steps up, "Come to think of it, does anyone know where that woman is or who?" There was a moment of silence in the room. Eerie, uncomfortable silence. Ozpin adjusted his glasses then speaks, "I'm afraid that is classified for now." He adjust his gaze at Blake. "Don't you have a meeting to infiltrate?" Blake widen her eyes in realization how late it is. "Oh! I gotta get goin'!" Blake ran out to the elevator then pulls out her scroll, which was ringing the moment she was going down. She answers, "Hey, Pepper...Sorry, but I didn't get-...Yeah...Yeah...Sorry...Later then. Oh wait, we could hang out...Oh, I see...Alright, catcha later then. Bye." Blake then calls Sun, "Hey Sun, you ready?"
Back in the office, Ozpin then tells the rest of Team RWBY, "You should all go to incase she needs help." Ruby saluted and speaks in an energetic tone "Roger that!" and the three just walked out. Linkara and Joe looked at Ozpin with Linkara asking, "Okay, can we have the reports now?"
Mountain Glenn Warehouse District/7:01 pm
Blake and Sun were close to Warehouse 13 and noticed some people wearing the hoods and masks they were given. Sun examines his and says, "What's with the masks? I do know why the White Fang worn them before the Neo-White Fang. But I don't get it." Blake also wonders about the masks, but tells Sun "But them on." They wore the masks and hoods along with some cloaks with the Templar symbo- Wait, where did they get those? Must have miss something during the time jump. Oh well, moving on. They enter inside the warehouse with a large crowd of people with their hoods and masks. However, there are those wearing green clothes and hoods with green oriental-style masks as well. On the back was a stage with three types of banners behind the podium. The one on the left is the Dragon, the one on the right is the Templars, and the middle is the Grand Empire symbol. There were monks in the background wearing green robes and have bald heads. But their most noticeable feature is that their mouths are sown shut. There were also some Templar paladins standing in attention as a Templar Preacher enters the stage.
The crowd went quite as the Preacher begins to speak. [If you want to imagine the preacher sounds like a stero-type of preacher, go ahead.] "Greetings brothers and sisters of both the Church and the Temple. We are all glad you can make it here tonight. We are all here because we all fight against the darkness that surrounds our kingdoms, engulfing our world. For those here tonight without semblances or weapons for when the time comes to fight. For tonight, we will grant the power to fight!" There was thunderous cheers and fists raised in the air. Sun leaned over and whispered to Blake, "What is he talking about?" "Shhh, we'll find out in a minute." "However," the Preacher spoke again, "in order to do so, we must ask everyone who doesn't have a semblance here to form an orderly line close to the stage." On the rooftop; Weiss, Ruby, and Yang were on the rooftop of the warehouse. Watching events unfold and prepare to help Blake out in a pitch if needed through a small open window. Back at the stage, a man was pushing a cart with a very large wooden crate that is 6x6 feet. "Before we can grant you all this power, is anyone here allergic to bee stings?" Everyone looked around in confusion on why he asked that, but there are a few that raised their hands up. "For those who are, please go to that stand to your left."
There was a stand with Pepper waving, "Hello!" with...why are those bottles glowing green?
Sun: "Why are those bottles glowing green?"
That's what I asked! "You guys have to wait to understand what is going on to get the picture." The crate opened up and revealed a large glass container with unusual glowing green bees. The crowd started to murmur about the bees and why they look like that. Back on the roof, Weiss looked at them with disgust and said "Why are they using bees?" "Yet why are they glowing green?" Yang asked, also curious. Ruby was taking a few pictures with her scroll and is also curious on what the bees are for. Back at the stage, the first person walked up on the stage with the Preacher saying, "These bees are a blessing from the Holy Matriarch of Enlightenment, herself. With these, we can fight against the monsters that plague our world, Grimm and scum alike!" The person who walked up removed his hood and mask to reveal he is a dog faunus with black hair and blue eyes. The Preacher turn to this fellow, "Tell me son, are you ready to receive the blessing of the Matriarch herself?" Blake thought to herself, 'Who is this Matriarch he is talking about?' "I do." says the boy. The Preacher puts his hand into the glass case and carefully pulled out one bee and asked, "Open your mouth." "...Wait, what?" The Preacher grabbed the boy's jaw to force him to open his mouth and shoved a bee down his throat.
The bee stings the inside of the boy's throat causing him to cough until he feels something. Blue energy swirls around his body as he is lifted a few feet into the air with his eyes and mouth glowing white with shockwaves pulsing the ground. After 10 seconds of witnessing something otherworldly, the energy dissipates and the boy falls on to the ground. "So," the Preacher began to speak, "how do you feel my child." The boy stood up looking at his hands after experiencing something he has never felt before. "I feel...I feel..." he began to smile, "I feel great! I feel so incredibly awesome right now!" Some of the people gathered around the dog faunus with someone asking, "How does it feel? Does it hurt?" "I...It feels like electricity surging through my body! I felt like I went through one hell of a sugar rush! But it is way too hard to explain how it felt! I felt like I went through space and time throughout the cosmos or something like that!" People began to line up eagerly for their new powers with Blake and Sun about ready to exit out until a ninja from the Dragon appeared from a smoke bomb.
He approach the Preacher with everyone trying to figure out what is going on. The ninja only whispers to the Preacher's ear as his eyes widen after hearing what he has to say. The ninja vanished with the Preacher shouting with joy, "Brothers and sisters, I have the most wonderful news! The Holy Matriarch of Enlightenment herself is on her way towards Remnant!" Everyone started to talk to each other to hear the exciting news until something cause a tremor outside the warehouse. Sun and Blake ran outside with the rest of Team RWBY going to the source of the tremor. Blake and Sun ditch their outfits once they are out of sight as everyone was approaching the source with people screaming and running in the opposite direction.
